slow down
This is a beautiful and simple song that has only one voice and one
acoustic guitar. I hope somebody can get something out of this transcription
P.S. Anybody with info, tabs, lyrics, etc... on Lillian Axe, drop me a
line. Or anybody who just wants to chat about the band (or any other great
rock band) your comments will always be welcome.
